>>7494545Inoki doesn’t hate sports entertainment, he partnered with WCW in the 90s after all.
> constant run-insInoki had run-ins in the 70s and the 80s with the Hiro Matsuda and his Ookami Gundan (Wolfpack), which then inspired the nWo decades later. And nWo Japan had run-ins all the time.
Contrary to what some people believe, Inoki adapts to the changing times. When there’s sports entertainment, he cashes in on it. The only reason he went to shoot fighting in the 00s was because MMA was starting to have a boom while wrestling was declining and he noticed that so he tried to save the business with a risky investment but unfortunately he failed because most of the wrestlers under him were fake tough guys.
